Expert panel 2025
Tuesday, 11.3.2025 / Exhibitor's Forum, Hall 5 / Booth 5-210, 11:30 ‐ 12:30
Are SoC Vendors Providing the Right Tools for Edge AI Developers?
This panel features invited SoC vendor and ecosystem representatives to discuss their solutions for hardware and software for AI at the Edge. In this space, hardware offerings range from discrete SoCs and SoMs, to complete Edge AI-targeted IPC platforms. Software offerings provided by SoC vendors and software suppliers range from API support for NN/NPU hardware, to complete solutions for AI training and on-device inference. George Grey, VP of Technology for Qualcomm Technologies International, Ltd hosts a panel to find out whether Edge AI developers are getting the tools they need. Panel attendees will find out more about key applications for AI at the Edge, what tools are available from vendors to build Edge AI solutions, developer workflow for AI applications, how to compare vendor solutions and tools, and speakers views on the future of AI and Edge computing.
Participants:
- Manvinder Singh, Vice President Product Management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc
- Zach Shelby, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Edge Impulse
- Nicolas Gaude, AI Solutions Product Marketing Manager, STMicroelectronics
- Ali Osman Ors, Global Director AI Strategy and Technologies, NXP Semiconductors

Active-Edge Solution
Jaguar Embedded Applications Platform
Explore the Jaguar Embedded Applications Platform, built on the NXP I.MX 8M Mini. This production-ready platform streamlines embedded development with comprehensive software support for security-focused, remote application deployment. Our booth demo will showcase platform (BSP) and application (Docker container) workflows, with example integrations for Sentai AI's edge device, Phasora's high-voltage metering, and a battery-powered handheld.
Arduino
Connected Edge Computer
Arduino has been a trusted partner of Foundries.io from the start, using the FoundriesFactory platform to power the first linux-based board, the Portenta X8. This solution hinges on a Portenta X8 and Portenta Max Carrier to deploy a secure, industrial-grade Linux computer capable of interacting with equipment/machinery or integrating within an existing smart kiosk. Data from onsite controllers (e.g. temperature, operation time, warning codes) are collected and processed thanks to the module’s supported industrial protocols. Portenta X8 can then act as a multi-protocol gateway, sending data to your Cloud or ERP system via Wi-Fi®, LoRa®, NB/IoT or LTE Cat.M1.
